- Scoliosis is known as an abnormal spinal curvature (left to right). The spine is designed to have curves in it from front to back to maintain its biomechanical structure. However, lateral curvatures in the spine can be caused by congenital abnormalities and neurological disorders. Some cases of scoliosis are idiopathic, meaning the cause is unknown. It occurs in approximately 3% of the population and has a stronger disposition toward females.
- Upper Cervical Chiropractic can alleviate the pain caused by scoliosis by making gentle, safe, yet effective corrections to the spine to improve skeletal structure. Dr. Lea has taken care of several scoliosis cases in which the curvatures improved, and patients reported less pain with exercise! Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression can be effective at treating scoliosis by gently stretching and relaxing the spine by utilizing state-of-the-art technology via the DRX-9000.
